‘It’s been another record year for Equiom. We have experienced notable growth in regions like the Middle East where our End of Service Gratuity Trust has appealed to international employers and in Asia where our Equiom Private Office offering has recently been launched. Through our expansion into new regions like the DIFC, we have opened up new markets and access to expertise for our clients. It is fantastic to be rewarded for all of this hard work and once again be recognised by such an important industry body. I am extremely proud of the team for getting us to where we are today and look forward to what the future has in store.’

Hosted in London later this year, the ceremony will attract more than 700 practitioners from the wealth management industry and Equiom will send a team of ten to represent the business.

‘Being shortlisted for Trust Company of the Year for the second year in a row really demonstrates our tremendous expansion over the years, from an Isle of Man trust company to a global professional services provider. We have come a long way and to be named as one of the top providers in the industry is a true testament to our success. I wish all of the nominees the best of luck.’

The STEP Private Client Awards are held annually and recognise excellence among trust managers, financial advisors and other leaders in the private client sector. Equiom was shortlisted after being assessed by a panel of judges that represent internationally renowned solicitors, lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, barristers and trust companies.
